Question:
‘ALL RELIGIONS are good,’ many people say. ‘They are simply different roads leading to the same place.’ If this were true, your religion would not really matter, for it would mean that all religions are acceptable to God. But are they?
God is not denominational. "Religion" is a very broad term for varying philosophies that have broad differences. "Good" is subjective. To believe in One Creator God means that that God created the whole of the universe, not just certain sects of the microcosm on this little, revolving stone called Earth. From my perspective, Jesus is uniquely ours (inhabitants of Earth)–along with every other faith on this planet. There may or may not be more intelligent life elsewhere. As God’s plan is perfect, these differences cannot possibly be a mistake. No, I’m afraid the mistake is in how we perceive differences, not in how God made them. That is, if you believe in One Creator God. I do. Geri

Do Baptists Believe in Heaven and Hell? (Frank A. Sharp) Most Baptist believe in some form of life beyond the grave. Ideas range from a nebulous, indefinable existence to a definite place, like a city of golden streets or a region of everlasting torment. Some Baptists find it difficult to reconcile the fact of an all-merciful God with endless punishment for sins committed within the short span of a lifetime on earth. What is Purgatory to a Catholic?
